Nail with thread and bit holder in the head area

Abstract

Nail with thread and bit holder in the head area, characterized in that the nail can be inserted into a material by hammering or screwing and removed by turning.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a nail for fastening purposes, in particular for wood and similar materials, wherein the nail is designed in such a way that it can be optionally hammered in or screwed in and then unscrewed again. State of the art

[0002] Traditional nails, which are driven into a workpiece by hammering, are known in the art. Removing such nails is often time-consuming and requires significant force, and can damage the workpiece. Screws are also known; while they are easy to remove, they typically take longer to insert and require a screwdriving tool. Object of the invention

[0003] The object of the invention is to provide a fastening element that combines the advantages of a nail (quick insertion by hammering) with the advantages of a screw (easy, controlled removal by unscrewing). Solution to the task

[0004] The task is accomplished using a nail with a threaded section (4) and a head section (3) with a bit holder (5). The nail can initially be driven in like a conventional nail. To remove it, a screwdriver can be inserted into the bit holder (5) so that the nail can be unscrewed by turning it. Advantages

[0005] The design according to the invention allows the nail to be inserted quickly and, if necessary, removed much more easily. This saves time and effort and reduces the risk of damaging the workpiece during removal. The bit holder allows the use of standard tools (e.g., cordless screwdrivers). Brief description of the drawings Fig. Figure 1 shows a side view of the nail with tip (1), shaft (2), head area (3) and thread area (4). Fig. Figure 2 shows another side view to illustrate the threaded area (4) on the shaft (2). Fig. Figure 3 shows a top view of the head area (3) with bit recording (5). Example of implementation

[0006] The nail has a point (1) for penetrating the workpiece. A shaft (2), which may have a smooth section, is attached to the point (1). A bit holder (5), for example, a hex socket, Torx, or Phillips head, is provided in the head (3), allowing a screwdriver to be securely attached. The shaft (2) has a threaded section (4), at least partially. In use, the nail can first be driven into the workpiece by hammer blows. To remove the nail, a screwdriver is inserted into the bit holder (5) and the nail is unscrewed by turning. The threaded section (4) assists in the controlled removal of the nail from the workpiece.
